Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 8th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $351 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $368.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $365 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s new swing hi $372.88 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $400. The second major resistance level sits at $390.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $351 pivot would bring the first major support level at $328 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$310. The Second major support level at $311 should limit the downside.
